Today we stopped at St. John in New Brunswick and did not have to take a tender into town but were right at the dock. I had breakfast in the buffet and then went over to the town to see what was going on. I didn't have anything planned until around 4:00 when I was going on a pub crawl. I started walking toward the reversing rapids which is caused by the high tide here in the Bay of Fundy. The highest tide in the whole world and what it does is it comes up so high that the part of the bay that goes into this River goes up so high that it creates a Whirlpool effect and the water going up to the river changes direction and goes back down. I think that's what's happening. The explanations I read were not very detailed but I didn't look too closely into the phenomenon, before I went.
Before I started out on the path to the lookout to view the rapids I went to the public library and I took a picture of their library of things which was very cool. They have them in display cases along with a three-ring binder containing all the LoT items. They also have them in the catalog. I got a library card from there. I thought it was a bookmark but then when I looked at it later I saw that she gave me the actual library card, which is fun.

Continuing my walk to the rapids it turned out to be a few miles there and then back. Again with the time change I was all mixed up and was supposed to meet Paige and her mom for that pub tour and I wasn't sure if it was really 2:30 or 3:30 and I was still walking and it was raining but I got back in time to go run to the room change my shirt and get back in plenty of time. The tour was fun. We had a group of 17 and several were friendly enough with us that we're going on another tour in Sydney, which is on Thursday.

For dinner we went to the Allegro dining room because we were able to get reservations so we sat in with a different way staff. This time we split a few different things to start with; an artichoke dip, salad of mixed greens, a hot smoked salmon spread, and something else. None of the specials interested me for the main course so I had one of their regular items. It was a really beautiful piece of grilled salmon with asparagus and Bok choy with a nice miso sauce and pine nuts, which I thought was interesting. For dessert I had a chocolate and nut torte.
After dinner we went in and walked around a bit, had a drink at the Crown Bar which was one of the only bars open because when we're at Port. I believe they can only have one bar per floor open. Then we went and checked out the karaoke and got to hear a few songs. That was a lot of fun.
Some drinks had:
Indigo Bay spritz
Melon ball-Appletini with melon instead of apple.
Elderflower, sapphire gin, splash pineapple.
Key lime pie martini, cream, pineapple, coconut rum
